Another Human Hybrid? The Controversy Continues One Year Later - via Ancient Origins

This very interesting artcile came to my attention today. Still more evidence in support of the Ketchum DNA Study:

Last year, we reported on the results of genetic research
which revealed that the genome of one of our ancient ancestors, the Denisovans,
contains a segment of DNA that seems to have come from another species that is
currently unknown to science.Several recent
studies have also revealed that modern humans are a product of hybridization,
with remnants of Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes in our DNA. This research
leads us to realize that our understanding of the origins of modern humans is
much murkier than we ever thought possible. This also begs the question, if we
are hybrids already, could there be extant human hybrids currently on earth
besides us?

It was a year ago today that a bold and controversial study
claiming to have sequenced three whole genomes from the species known as
Sasquatch or Bigfoot was published, titled ‘Novel North American Hominins, Next
Generation Sequencing of Three Whole Genomes’. This study was met with outrage
by some scientists, while much of the scientific community ignored it
altogether. Some scientists supported it, but most were afraid of what would
happen to their careers if they openly supported a study claiming to have
proven the existence of the much stigmatized and controversial Sasquatch. Yet
upon examination of the paper, it can be seen that it was a huge
multidisciplinary effort involving a dozen labs and blind studies, and carried
out by nine highly qualified scientists, aimed at quelling controversy about
the discovery.

Sasquatch is the name given to a cryptid ape- or
hominid-like creature that some people believe inhabits forests, mainly in the
Pacific Northwest region of North America.It is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid. In many
ancient cultures, there are historical accounts, legends, artwork and stories
about giants, hairy people, wild people, and other beings fitting the basic
description of the Sasquatch. In North America, the Sasquatch are considered to
be a tribe by many Native American people. They are known by dozens of names, including
Big Foot in America, Almas in Russia, Yeren in China, Yeti in Tibet, Yowie in
Australia, and Elder Brother among Native Americans. Virtually every country
and culture has a name for them.

At some point, the Sasquatch faded into mythology and reporting
one became a reason to ridicule the witness.Nevertheless, individual reports continue to be submitted to local
authorities and research organizations describing this elusive creature in
detail. These reports document sightings, encounters and tangible pieces of
evidence such as footprints, vocalizations captured on audiotape, photographs,
video footage and hair samples.Some are
clearly hoaxes designed to make fun and ridicule the subject, while others are
simply left as unexplained.

It seems appropriate to talk about cross breeding on Valentine's Dayso why not. The recent discovery of human footprints in England thatare purported to be 800,000 years old, the oldest outside of Africa,leaves one to believe that in that time a lot hanky-panky could easilyhave taken place.

Thank you for writing a fair and unbiased review of the Ketchum DNA paper. I sincerely wish more people would do the research and then evaluate Dr. Ketchum's DNA thesis proving the existence of the Sasquatch species. Well done, sir, well done indeed!
